GIC appoints a new sustainability head nearly a year after the role was vacated

Quick Summary:

Following the departure of its inaugural head of sustainability Rachel Teo last August, Emily Chew joins the Singapore sovereign wealth fund from Morgan Stanley’s responsible investing subsidiary.

While the fund manager does not disclose its assets under management, research firm Global SWF estimates it to be at US$769 billion.

In April 2023, Teo co-wrote a paper exploring the likelihoods of the four main scenarios GIC uses to assess the impact of climate risks on their financial returns – Net Zero, Delayed Disorderly Transition, Too Little Too Late and Failed Transition – playing out.
